What Does A Bleeding Small Bump On The Forehead Indicate?
Question: I have a small bump on the forward that occasionally bleeds (slightly), has been there for a couple months.
Brief Answer:
It might be a skin cancer.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Face and forehead is the area where we commonly see skin cancer. Skin cancer (not melanoma) is not a dangerous disease as it does not spread to other tissues in most cases.
And skin cancer can look just like yours bump. And it likes to bleed.
That is why, I suggest you to consult a surgeon. The bump should be removed and tested. It will be a diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
